“A Name Given by God”

Luke 2:21             {Prayer}             Some people choose to find out if they are having a boy or a girl before he or she is born while others choose not to. Gender reveal parties are now a pretty common thing and there are so many different ways in which people do them. You can spend…

“Small Glimpses of Blessings”

Luke 21:5-28 {Prayer}             I’ve mentioned before how Jessica and I like to watch the TV show “Deadliest Catch.” We’ve even gotten into the break-offs of the show which follow some of the fisherman around to different parts of the world.

“For Us and With Us”

Romans 8:31-39 {Prayer}             A couple of weeks ago I raised the question of why do we watch the same movie over and over again. The answer I gave was that we watch that movie over and over again because we know it delivers. Our favorite scene turns out the way it always has. We…

“Watch Jesus Closely”

Luke 14:1-14             {Prayer}             One of Jessica’s favorite pass times is people watching. This was especially true back when we were in college and before we had the responsibility of looking after, watching over, and keeping track of our own kids. Back in college at Concordia in Chicago, I specifically remember one time where…

“Life of Faith is Hard”

Luke 13:22-30 {Prayer}             I came across a devotion which talked a little bit about John Bunyan, not to be confused with the giant lumberjack Paul Bunyan and his big blue ox Babe. John Bunyan is a seventeenth century Puritan. Of those who know of him, he is most famous for his work entitled “The…
